Beer: Reviews & Ratings

Stopped at a small grocery shop on the way from San Jose to Jaco, and my buddy picked up a sixer of Rock Ice. Before I could open one of my own selections, he'd put a can in my hand, and so I was obligated to try it.

Smelled of salty corn with wisps of lemon - like some corn on the cob marinated in sprite.

Taste matched aroma.

Contents of can emptied out side window - can re-purposed for a more fitting task - community ash tray. (488 characters)

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color lager with a small bubbly head with not much retention. Aroma of corn is somewhat apparent with light sweet aftertaste. Taste is quite bland with adjunct being obviously used in this beer. I must admit that I could probably not distinguish the different lager form this brewer as they so closely resemble each other.

The advertising for the beer just seems to be to print "ROCK ICE" as big as possible on billboards and truck covers. They spent less thought on the flavor than they did on the advertising (typical of most mega-brews I would say)

I chanced one bottle of this stuff, and gave the other 5 to a guy I saw sitting on the side of the road the next day. I am not sure he was all that happy about it. (395 characters)
